How to make eggless oatmeal cookies (a visual step-by-step guide):
Step 1: preheat and prep
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: mix wet ingredients
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until well combined with an electric hand mixer (image 1).
Add the vanilla and applesauce and mix (image 2).
Step 3: mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt (image 3).
Step 4: combine wet and dry
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients (image 4).
Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined (image 5).
Step 5: scoop
Drop 1.5 Tbsp. spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet (image 6). This recipe makes approximately 19 cookies with a 1.5 Tbsp. cookie scoop.
Step 6: bake, remove and cool
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tip!
Do not over-mix your dough as it will result in dense cookies. Mix until only just combined.
Recipe FAQs
If you want the cookies to all be the same shape after baking, take to top of a mason jar lid, place it over the cookie and swirl it around in a circular motion for a few minutes. This will result in the perfect circular cookies.
Store your leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze them in a freezer-safe container or ziplock and enjoy within three months of freezing.
